Comparison Of Sprint Unlimited Data Plans

The idea of tiered unlimited data plans has really taken off over the past several months. Carriers have been competing with each other by adding more and more unlimited plans with different perks and at different price points. Verizon did it when it added its Above Unlimited plan for $95/month. That plan includes more data before deprioritization than Verizon's other unlimited plans. T-Mobile just announced a cheaper, $60 unlimited plan that doesn't come with a Netflix subscription. AT&T recently announced new unlimited plans with TV perks.
